And, at this point, we can understand why. The bottom line is that the current economic crisis is killing state government.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-13134380065316138852008-12-30T11:15:00.000-05:002008-12-30T11:15:00.000-05:00I would like to let all my friends and former coll...I would like to let all my friends and former colleagues at the MJB that I have finally retired from the SAO here in Key West. (Yes, I have 32 1/2 years in as a State employee, time flies when you are having so much fun.) I am staying here and am opening my own practice doing CRIMINAL DEFENSE. I'll be doing a little family and mediation on the side. Some of you have visited me, my new office is right across the street. You can reach me at 305-296-0203 or 305-849-8663 after January 5. I can't wait to start pestering young prosecutors!

I would urge you to celebrate the living and practicing as well.........while many don't deserve it, many do and we don't show our appreciation enough as it is. It's a shame that some of those who passed may never have known how widely respected and liked they truly were.<BR/><BR/>On that note, I'd like to give a special thanks to the public officials who could be making a lot more money in the private sector and treat their jobs with the respect they deserve (how I miss being counted among them.........). Let's all resolve to contribute to the community in some way this year.<BR/><BR/>Good luck to all; God bless.<BR/><BR/>BTDTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-56470934026363164272008-12-29T22:17:00.000-05:002008-12-29T22:17:00.000-05:00Random thought with the altruistic nature shared s...Random thought with the altruistic nature shared so often on this blog, but why has no one stepped up in this community to come up with some sort of loan assistance repayment program for all the new attorneys who go into public interest? Many of you make your comments about how great it was when you were an ASA or APD, but have since gone into the private field. Why not try to help out those that want to maintain the path? Eventually even the best public servants are forced to leave the jobs they love with loans totaling over $100,000 from three years of law school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-49025907348221486702008-12-29T21:45:00.000-05:002008-12-29T21:45:00.000-05:00DROP PAYS (THANKS TO THE JAABLOG):SIMONS, STUART M...DROP PAYS (THANKS TO THE JAABLOG):<BR/><BR/>SIMONS, STUART M.<BR/>JUDGE<BR/>2008 annual salary: $145,080<BR/>Monthly pension: $7,776<BR/>DROP payout: $265,781<BR/> <BR/>BRUMMER, BENNETT H.<BR/>PUBLIC DEFENDER<BR/>2008 annual salary: $153,140<BR/>Monthly pension: $8,164<BR/>DROP payout: $487,398<BR/><BR/>On a lighter note, congratulations to Governor Sarah Palin - you can now call her Grandma.<BR/> <BR/>Alaska Gov.
